Paypal can also take up to two weeks unless you have a credit card linked to the account. Possibly that's an issue?

I must admit I'm quite worried about this. Paypal confirms I have sent this through and confirms it has been received by Fury. I'd like to know what the fuck is going on at the other end.

Now there are a number of ways I could answer that Tbone.

One where I swear my head off right back at you and point out that some of us have jobs that get alot more busy at the end of year and that i might have other things on my mind at the moment.

Two where i also point out that I was not on at all yesterday so how could I see all this.

and

Three I am doing all this chasing around out of my own good will so don't be so FUCKING ungrateful!

That list is a case of what Docbot and Ronin know upto a point I have a few to go through to update that list and have not had a chance due alot of things. So have some patience.

That's it, stick it to 'em, Fury!

I'm late because I never have a sense of urgency, I'll make a point of donating tonight. How can you tell if the donation has come from me?

I've done a big update to the list that now reflects where we are fully. If you aren't on the confirmed list thus far then we haven't received any monies from you (or at least we hadn't last time we updated our main list).

Quick reminder: the Admin team all volunteers, which means we don't offer a full cover service. If we're away, things get a little disjointed. That's exactly why these posts exist, to allow us asynchronous communication. Confirming, double confirming and checking those who are checking are all par for the course. Just bear with us and we'll get it sorted.

FUCKING ungrateful!
I am just concerned about money I have put into something that should, according, to my end be there already. I'm sure if you look at it from point of view you'd see why I'm frustrated because £20 is a LOT of money for me.

I also do not mean this next thing highly offensively but if you're gonna volunteer to be bean counter at least do it :/

*Grumble*

Looking back at the updates list I see that it has been confirmed at the operation end. This is good but maybe a response to my PM would have been nice. :S

Right, we've gotten loads of contributions, thank you all! Now we shall just agree on a price and I will post that tomorrow. Then the draw will take place next tuesday. There's still time to join in the raffle, but the price will be set (which is all better as far as concerns the server funds). I'm not counting on anyone participating this late, however.

Once again, thanks to all who've donated! You're what keeping the server alive! :D

You guys are AWESOME!

The raffle has yielded £236! That's just phenomenal. Not only does it mean the server's paid for for another 2,5 months, It also means there will be 2 prizes!

So, without further ado, I present:

First prize will be games and/or subscriptions up to a value of £50, from http://www.play.com

Second prize will be the same, up to £40.

The draw will be on tuesday, live on TS.

The list of participants is:

Ronin Storm : 4 tickets
DocBot : 4 tickets
Big D: 4 tickets
DeZmond: (subscription), 5 tickets
HotStuff: (subscription), 2 tickets
elDiablo: 4 tickets
Taffy: 7 tickets
waterproofbob: 4 tickets
Traxata: 4 tickets
T-Bone: 4 tickets
Iron Fist: 2 tickets
Duren: 5 tickets
Turang: 4 tickets
Tetsuo Shima: 4 tickets
thatbloke: 5 tickets


That gives a total of 62 tickets sold. The draw will be managed as follows:

Each ticket gives you 15 numbers. The roll will be one 1000-sided die, with rerolls on any number over 930.

The allocated ranges are:

Ronin Storm : 1-60
DocBot : 61-120
Big D: 121-180
DeZmond: (subscription), 181-255
HotStuff: (subscription), 256-285

Duren: 661-735
Turang: 736-795
Tetsuo Shima: 796-855
thatbloke: 856-930


After the first prize roll, there will be the roll for second prize. Any roll that lands the prize to whoever won first prize will be rerolled. Any questions?

The numbers are subject to change if anyone else wants to join in, the prizes are not. Entries close on friday.

Once again, thank you to all who's participating, and good luck on tuesday!


edit: ahem. corrected spelling. I'm blaming it on being tired and swedish.

Question, why not use a random number generator of 930 numbers instead of using a 1000 numbers? wouldnt it be easier?
